My favourite drawing tool to create professional looking electronic
schemes is gEDA
(GPL + EDA = gEDA). It has a simple but efficient
GUI and allows tons of shortcuts and as well mouse stroke support.
(similar to stroking handhelds with a pen). It already has got a huge
library and is easy expandable. Its output is pure postscript or
a netlist to create a board later on with another tool.
xcircuit
Another drawing tool to create nice schematics is xcircuit.
- The output generates wonderful postscript code - printable
with any good postscript viewer.
- New: It is possible now to import postscript files generated
with other programs.
- Libraries: I recently created
a chemical library
A very nice guy from Trevor sent me a schematic of
a metal detector. I haven't built it until now but it looks very
promising!
